LeBron James Homecoming Spoiled by Knicks…and LeBron James (Videos)

The 2014-15 NBA season officially began with three games on Tuesday. And then there were another 12 games on Wednesday. But every basketball fan knew that the NBA season wouldn’t really begin until the LeBron James homecoming in Cleveland on Thursday. After all, as we saw with the free agent market this summer, the NBA really does revolve around the King.

So how was the LeBron James homecoming? It was fun at first. LeBron was super excited to be back.

But his game stayed at home. The best basketball player in the world went just 5-for-15 from the floor with 17 points, four assists, five rebounds, and zero steals. Meanwhile, the best player on the other team—that would be the Knicks’ Carmelo Anthony—was totally clutch.

Final score: New York 95, Cleveland 90.

The good news for Cavaliers fans? This will probably be the worst game LeBron plays all year.
